Moravia Worldwide Becomes Idiom Technologies Platinum LSP Partner
Brno, Czech Republic - June 19, 2007
Moravia Worldwide, a leading globalization solution provider, announced today it has become a Platinum member of the Idiom® Technologies (Idiom) LSP Partner Program. Idiom is the leading independent supplier of SaaS and on-premise server-based globalization management systems (GMS), and Moravia Worldwide has been elevated to this exclusive tier of the LSP program because of its expertise in implementing Idiom WorldServerTM with end-user clients. Moravia has also implemented Idiom WorldServer as an important component of the company's internal localization workflow solution, and over the past year, Moravia has played an important role in the development of Idiom WorldServer by providing specific recommendations for feature and functionality enhancements.
Started in 2005, the Idiom LSP Partner Program is tailored specifically for Language Service Providers (LSPs) and provides partners with the opportunity to enhance client offerings to effectively manage globalization efforts. The objective is to help accelerate the adoption of this globalization platform as an independent technology standard in the industry. The Platinum tier is designed to identify a select number of exceptional LSP partners who have achieved a high level of knowledge in implementing and utilizing Idiom products and who demonstrate a strong commitment to increase the use of modern GMS solutions and globalization best practices. Idiom Technologies engages in a broad range of product development, joint marketing and business development activities with Platinum Partners.
Moravia Worldwide has always been an early adopter of technologies in the industry, being one of the first companies ever to implement translation memory tools back in 1994, and the very first in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region. Moravia joined the Idiom LSP Partner Program in 2006 and since then has implemented and customized Idiom WorldServer with a broad range of clients. WorldServer has also become one of the key translation management technologies supported at Moravia.
Idiom WorldServer has been customized and integrated with Moravia's internally-developed technology solutions to create a single flexible and highly automated translation workflow system. This enables Moravia to provide language services with an increased efficiency, scalability and speed.
"As our LSP Partner Program has evolved, it has become a vehicle for offering customers the options they need to select the right globalization solutions for their businesses," said Mike Iacobucci, President and Chief Executive Officer, Idiom Technologies. "Moravia is a proven leader in the translation and localization market and also shares our commitment to freedom of choice for customers. We're pleased to recognize this valuable partner for its role in expanding the footprint of WorldServer and bringing best-of-breed globalization solutions to businesses worldwide."
"Our strategy has always been to base our solutions on open standards and independent, non-captive technologies, and excel in their implementation and customization," added Mr. Arturo Quintero, Chief Corporate Strategist of Moravia Worldwide. "We firmly believe customers should have a freedom of choice in selecting their localization partners based on value provided and performance, and proprietary technology should not be a tool to lock them in. We find Idiom solutions to be an emerging independent standard in the area of translation and globalization management systems, which brings value to a growing number of clients as well as LSPs such as Moravia. We use and support this technology and we look forward to extending further our mutually beneficial partnership with Idiom, and extending the benefits to a growing number of clients."
"As their awareness and use in the maturing industry increases, Moravia has built a significant expertise in a wide range of technologies that support global content management, such as globalization management systems (GMS), machine translation (MT) and workflow solutions," commented Ms. Katerina Forstingerova, Chief Executive Officer of Moravia Worldwide. "The industry expects leaders such as Moravia to provide further innovation that will enable doing more with less. Moravia believes innovation will result from the integration of the best translation memory, machine translation and workflow technologies coming from independent suppliers."
